To a large degree that is correct, Pinto. The Afghan army are predominately made up of the minority ethnic group - the Hazaras. Whereas the Taliban are primarily made up of the majority ethnic group - the Pashtun's. In the end the Hazaras are grossly disadvantaged, both in number and military/fighting expertise. They (the Hazara) are also the traditional enemy of the Pashtun. As I said some weeks ago, its going to get ugly before things settle down - not that Afghanistan has ever been settled, so to speak, given its been in a perpetual state of war since Genghis Khan invaded. And I point out here that the Pashtuns were the only army ever to beat Genghis in battle. That point alone should have said something to the Yanks and allied forces before they thought to invade that country.

I just hope that the Taliban if they succeed in taking over dont resort to the old way of denying young girls an education.

Any State that does gender based discrimination to the extent of denying women an education and entering professions
should be censured by the wider world community. What a failure the occupation has been.
